Shoprite’s Mobile Soup Kitchen served more than 200 community members at the Masithembele Drop-in-Centre in Delft this week. This is in addition to the blankets, school bags, stationery, utensils and gift card which Shoprite donated to the organisation last month.

‘Mama Delft’, as the centre is affectionately referred to in the community, is managed by Wilhelmina Heyens who runs a feeding scheme and aftercare in the community. The organisation also provides child-headed homes with survival kits that include food and toiletry items.

The Shoprite Mobile Soup Kitchen is one of the many ways in which the retailer fights hunger in vulnerable communities across South Africa.
